Hearing & Audiology Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts hearing & audiology expert witness services.

Why is early detection of infant hearing loss so important?

Reliable Clinical Experts audiologists testify that the first three years of life are critical for speech and language development. Children with undetected hearing loss miss crucial auditory input during this period, causing permanent language delays even after hearing is restored. Universal newborn hearing screening aims to detect loss by one month and begin intervention by three months — delays beyond this window cause permanent harm.

What medications can cause hearing loss?

Reliable Clinical Experts audiology experts testify that ototoxic medications include aminoglycoside antibiotics, platinum-based chemotherapy, high-dose aspirin, and loop diuretics. Patients receiving these medications require baseline audiometry and monitoring during treatment. Failure to monitor — especially with prolonged use or multiple ototoxic agents — can result in preventable severe hearing loss constituting medical negligence.
